Bestop TrekTop flapping noise.

Thanks dude! Mine just started making this sound the past couple weeks. Definitely on my to do list now

It's seems to start as the temps get over 80 or so.

Mine does this, as well. I've got the Velcro as tight as I can go without overshooting the hook and loop, so this might work. Is that a flat weatherstrip, or silicone molded into like a D shape?

As an aside, have you had to tighten your screws yet? I had some noise from a bracket over the driver's head. It turned out that ALL the screws holding the brackets to the roll cage, as well as everything holding the windows in, was extremely loose. I'm going to have to make it a quarterly maintenance item to completely open the top and tighten everything.

Yeah just some flat foam type weather strip that gives some extra width to the metal and cushions any flapping that might still happen.

Thanks again for the suggestion. Picked up a roll of adhesive backed foam weatherstripping from HD. So far, its done the trick. No flapping sounds at all now

I put my hard top back on as it's about to hit 100+ with 200% humidity here for summer. My soft top is spring and fall!

Any tips how to reduce the feeling of an open window?
I have this from my back right window, as if it’s not sealed.
everything is aligned and installed perfectly

Did you ever figure out how to fix this? Mine does this all the time now.

I bought me a OEM soft top for 500 bucks is how I fixed mine!

My Jtop Dual flaps like crazy at the front and all the way down no matter howmany retensions I so. Using it with soft top so there are at least six 12 sqin +/- useless open holes meant for hard top install.

I will tape up the holes for a road trip tomorrow and if it solves will drop off at upholstry to permanenty plug them and shorten fron two hooked winshield surroud straps.
